Hey houw – wa nou (4x)
Ik kocht ‘m van een scholjuf
De bojjem is zo rot as kaf
Hey houw – wa nou
hij stond latst bij mien in de wei
Hey houw – wa nou (4x)
Kwas halverwege nor Den Bosch
Tju, dor stut de pliessie
|
Hee ho – wat nu (4x)
Ik kocht ‘m van een schooljuffrouw
De bodem is zo rot als kaf
Hee ho – wat nu
hij stond recentelijk bij mij in de wei
Hee ho – wat nu (4x)
Ik was halverwege, onderweg naar Den Bosch
Verdorie, daar staan enkele leden van de
hermandad

I lie in my bed - and I see the
moon ‘cos it’s a clear night
High in the sky - far away from here but she shines so bright
I need to get up - and put my moon boots on and my new space suit
‘Cos I’m an astronaut - without any fear and in a fine mood
3-2-1-zero-go, (lift off) it's a long way
home
3-2-1-zero-go, (lift off) it's a long way home
Going to work - in my rocket
it’s the fast-lane that I take
A little stressed up - much better when I eat my space cake
I orbit a bit - I choose the right spot to land on the moon
I’m getting out - with giant leaps I’ll be there real soon
I jump around - and I plan to do
what it’s all about
Then I take my brush - and I paint two eyes, a nose and a mouth
when I fly back home - down here the moon looks happy and new
She smiles at me - ‘come back to paint my dark side too’
Als het huus
stût te schudde, dan hoefde nie te kloppe
Als het huus stût te schudde, dan hoefde nie te kloppe
Als het huus stût te schudde
Dan komde mar g’woon àchterum
Schup die klôs
mar uut, want die kunde nie gebruuke
Ok al hedde zweetjatte, ge kunt er niks van ruuke
Want in di ouw huus, dor gut het erop
Ge houdt het nie mèr tège, ge stot er te danse als een kuuke
Al lopte ovver
stroat, dan kunde het al goed heure
Un ontiegelijken herrie, dôr stut iets te gebeure
Wâ is dôr an de haand, wâ is dôr te doen
Ze zien gaarnie wies en slôn op de moat mit de deure
De muuze schiete weg en dè zien er toch een dèl
De kat lit te mauwe, dun hond rakt an de spel
Gèn koei gèft nog romme, en de vèrekes vreten nie,
Dè nauwt er feiteluk niks, want wij geleuven ‘t verder wel
I had an awesome aching tooth for a week or so
So I had to see the dentist but I didn’t dare to go
I tried to pull it out with a rope on the door
But all it brought about was me crying on the floor
I don’t want to go but
I do want to end this
So everybody says: 'go call your dentist'
So I finally decided to go it all the way
When I entered his room, I started to pray
He had a small moustache and a stiff right arm
I begged: don’t torture me, please don’t do me no harm
He tied me down in his chair against my will
he slashed away my teeth with a giant drill
He put me into sleep, so I did not feel
And when I woke up, my mouth was filled with steel
My girl – won’t let me have no side burns
My girl – neither likes my piled up hair
Gonna throw her off a riff cos we never be a matching pair
My car's too slow to join a street race
My car – won’t even start at all
One of these days I’m gonna crash it against a wall
Cos I’m a rebel with a cause (2x)
I never show remorse
Cos I’m a rebel with a cause
A rebel with a cause does not respect the laws
My boss – won’t let me have my day off
My boss – just treats me like a mule
I set fire to the place, I’m no longer gonna be his fool
My bar – won’t serve me no more liquor
My bar – won’t give me one more beer
I’m gonna shoot the bartender cos it sucks over here
My judge – won’t take my word for granted
My judge – convicts me for some crime
He’s gonna put me into jail to do my time
Kevin in his car - was hit by a film star
landed on the local ER
The surgeons disagreed, ended up in a big fight
Now Kevin’s kinda heavy with nine pliers left inside
And then they told him
It maybe good to be aware
We did some intubating, did some operating
but we don’t really care at this ER nightmare
Stella in a store - stuck in the elevator door
Couldn’t find her arms anymore
The doctors started looking, in the kitchen found some things
Now Stella flaps hello with her chicken wings
And then they told her
Better get yourself prepared
We did some amputations, did some transplantations
But no one’s qualified at this ER nightmare!
Sally was insane - she had botox in her brain
The nurses tied her naked to a chain
They tried to suck the stuff, but then drained her total head
Now Sally’s really happy, ‘cos she ìs braindead
And then they told her
It maybe good to be aware
We did some operations, did some transplantations
But everybody’s loco at this ER nightmare!
Sidney was sacked - then he heartattacked
The paddles were extreme power packed
They gave him too high voltage and Sid was almost dead
They put it to an end, he only occupied their bed
I think I’m a rock artist
But I’m just a dumb narcist
All I care about is me, I’m just
too damn blind to see
REFR:
I
gotta/ check my hair, shine my shoes,
look in the mirror and won’t hang loose
Girls don’t’ give me any kicks
I don’t need those
stupid chicks
They just tear my
shirt apart and I don’t wanna break their heart
I don’t care if I die young
‘cos my looks won’t
last too long
In my coffin I gotta
look good so undertaker, that’s understood
He used to be a tri-athlete
and did some boxing yes indeed
He looks like Elvis
with his hair
and sells old stuff
at any fair
REFR:
A-Hank Honey
a-yeah-yeah-yeah-a-Hank
Honey (with his Joke)
He drives a real old
Opel car
and plays the rock and
roll guitar
a-Hank Honey
He had some trouble
with his back
but he sure never
planned to crack
The surgeons really
cut him up
but now he’s back to
rub-a-dub
Their son named Twan - is really someone
A nice boy scout - so ladies,
better look out
His wife is really something else
she does the cooking and she helps
Just
go to her when you are broke
and
things are solved, no that's no Joke (or
is it Joke)
She
also builds them houses fine
from
oak and wood and real fine pine
And
then the big Joke of it all
just
in one day - no please don’t call (if
it takes longer)
On a saturday night
I met this blond haired girl
Right that night
we did the swirl
Since then some twenty years went by
and we’re still together but don’t ask
why
REFR:
She’s mean, she’s mine
She’s evil, like a lion
She’s mean - she’s mine
she’s evil, like a lion
She’s mean - she’s mine – and that’s so
fine
She spends my money
She never gets enough
and hits me hard
with her kitchen stuff
I cook all day, I clean the floor
but all she wants is more, more, more
Our
thirteen kids
are all the same
These lazy dumb sods
all bear my name
I do their homework, give 'em food
Whatever I do, it's never any good
I like to divorce
but that’s no go
With her lawyer
she plays it low
Some ten big guys came after me,
it
was my in-law family
I love my car with its
long fine fins
My vinyl seats and my cool
cow skins
At my rear mirror hangs a
little bra
On the dash a picture of
my ma
REFR:
Don’t touch my car
– stay off baby
Don’t push too far
– stay off baby
Don’t fuss my fuel
– stay off baby
Now please close the
door and I’ll wax you some more
I drive all night and I
drive all day
I drive real fast, so get
out of my way
My real loud sound, just
pump it up
16 woofers and a big bad
sub
Lowered springs and my
windows black
Speeding all way with the
cops on my back
A big block roaring
under the hood
Shift
the gear ‘cos it sounds so good
I
was walking in the green woods, coming from the city ground
Picking up some acorns, I heard a strange grumbling sound
It was just right behind me and so I turned around
(and
I say:)
Moo-moo, mama bad news, look at that mean mad moose
Moo-moo, mama bad news, look at that mean mad moose
This
moose got the blues, now hell is breaking loose
The
moose got angry and then I started to run
A cross-eyed deer hunter suddenly fired his gun
His bullet just missed me, this really ain’t no fun
The
moose ran on and I got nowhere to hide
Landed on a road, when a funny looking car came right
It got round the moose, but then tumbled on its side
The
Crocdoc does it – Ye! Ye!
The Crocdoc does it – Ye! Ye!
The Crocodile Doctor is a crook croc knocker
The Crocdoc does it – Ye! Ye!
The Crocodile Doctor has a cure for every pain
A
baby crocodile had an aching tooth
He felt so much pain, it got down his roots
So the Doc skinned the beast and made himself a fine pair of boots.
A
giant crocodile left a trail of slime
He asked ‘Hey doctor, got no pills please buy’ em
See you later alligator, said the doc, ain’t got no time
The
doctor fell in love, it was such a drag
But he lady was a bore, she could only nag:
Oh doctor can you fix this hole in my croc-leather bag
T-Bird
Tammy - Guess you better slow your T-Bird down
T-Bird Tammy - don’t you think you sniffed a bit too much now
You’ve been knockin’ over six young mothers now
Time to park your car and leave the wheel to the others now
All
you have to try is hit the brake Tammy - Try
- Tammy –Try
All you have to try is sober up Tammy - Try
- Tammy –Try
You’ve alerted all cops in the state now
Don’t you feel it’s time to detoxicate now?
T-Bird
Tammy - Guess you better sell that T-Bird quick
T-Bird Tammy - Time to stop your crash course while you’re drunk
Don’t you think you’re a bit too old for these tricks?
Speeding drunk and high at the age of eighty-six
The
boys are looking and the girls are looking good
The boys are looking and the girls are looking good
Everybody’s at the party, dancing like it should
Grandma starts the ball
She begins to do the jive
Granp’s comes to join
Just to prove he’s still alive
It’s a big party crowd, everybody jump and shout
Fancy
Nancy is red hot
wearing a see-through blouse
She does a rock&roll dance
And all the boys get real aroused
It’s a big party crowd, everybody jump and shout
Willy
Wim feels so good
Acting like a rock&roll star
Goes down at his knees
Playing his air guitar
It’s a big party crowd, everybody jump and shout
Lazy
Daisy’s too tired
She doesn’t dance at all
Fell asleep at the swing-bench
So she still can rock&roll
It’s a big party crowd, everybody jump and shout
Little
Lola’s only nine
Swinging her blond hair curls
Look out for uncle Jerry
He loves them real young girls
It’s a big party crowd, everybody jump and shout
Skinny
Minny feels so cold
The shivers go down her spine
She put on 16 coats
And now she’s shaking fine
It’s a big party crowd, everybody jump and shout
Who’s
that over there?
Doing the loop-ti-loop
What do you know?
she looks like Betty Boop
It’s a big party crowd, everybody jump and shout
Billy
Bob knows the dance
He does the bebop all right
But he drank too much
So he won’t be Bob tonight
It’s a big party crowd, everybody jump and shout
make-some-room - leave nothing but mud
(aha-ha)
Twen-ty-minutes
- and the forest’s gone (aha-ha)
Yeah-that’s-true - it is lumberjack’s
fun (aha-ha)
And-so-what? - do I bother anyone? (aha-ha)
Well
the postman rang, I know he always rings twice
I don’t want his mail, but every day he tries
He delivers only bills that I can’t pay
So I’m not living here, at least that that’s what I say
Shut
the door - Get on the floor (2x)
Block the door ‘cos I don’t wanna be home no more
And
then the taxman came and that’s no good
I got a bad reputation in this neighbourhood
My black money buried in a secret place
I won’t pay my taxes till the end of days
A
mob gang gathered in the middle of the night
Their stenguns pointed to shoot on sight
“Now come outside and pay your dues
Better be fast ‘cos we got no time to loose”
A
police squad started to surround my place
The judge ordered them to quickly solve my case
I fought the law, but you know the law won
They burnt down my house and now my home is gone
I
feel fine, I feel OK
It would be even better if you gó out of my way
REFR:
Just make my day – make my day
Out
of my way – make my day
I’m
here to stay – make my day
What
did you say? – make my day
I’m
trying to be nice - but – everytime somebody ruins my day
You
bother me, that’s no good
Do yourself a favour now and leave this neighbourhood
OK,
take me to the bridge!
Don’t
insult me, what did you say?
Go ahead punk and try to make my day
Let’s go mess
with Ma-bel - ‘cos everybody does (pa-pa-pa)
Let’s go mess
with Ma-bel - and tell her she’s the boss (pa-pa-pa)
Blind ambition starts right here, she only lives for her career
Mabel is the
girl in town, who hops around the most
She hangs out
with mobster guys and sleeps from coast to coast
Mabel paints
all towns from Rome to LA and beyond
She’s young,
bright and beautiful, but she sure as hell is blonde
Mabel likes
to float around, and jump from boat to boat
Works her way
up in the world, yeah it’s a rocky road
Wanted to be
á princess in the royal family
She married a
real prince and covered úp her history
Criminal or
royal guys, she's only dating stars
Drinking champagne all the time, shows up in stretched cars
A girl like Mabel is so smooth, sexy and obscene
She's so inconspicuous, she even fooled the queen
